The stories and insights in Lead True will help you define that path and inspire you to take on bigger challenges. The rising generation of leaders has the opportunity to change the world of business in a way that puts their customers, their communities, and the planet before self-interest.

The Book

How a True Leader puts People, Organization, and Community First

What elements make a leader that can change the world?

We all face countless decisions throughout our careers. The specific circumstances that call us to lead will be different, but the core dilemmas and ethical challenges are very similar. Faced with these challenges, each of us must decide if we will follow our ego-centered inclinations or lead for the good of everyone whose lives we touch? Will we endanger or impair those around us to satisfy our own self-interest, or will we lead in a manner that is true to our values?

Jeff recently spoke in Nijmegen, Netherlands at CleanMed Europe 2018.

“Jeff Thompson teaches us that the most effective leadership is not about strategy, growth, or competing — it’s about leading through values, for the benefit of not just an organization and its customers, but the world itself.”

— Marshall Goldsmith, The Thinkers 50 #1 Leadership Thinker in the World

“The most important thing to know about Jeff Thompson is that he is for real: he lives and breathes the courage and compassion of values-based leadership and led his organization to embody one that effects meaningful change.”
